Rapid Reload Transphasic Torpedo Launchers are torpedo based weapons available for all faction starships. They have a 90° firing arc. This weapon has microfriction autoloaders and superconducting capacitors that reduce the reload time, which allows the weapon to fire 20% faster.

Transphasic weapons have a 40% bonus to shield penetration power. This weapon also has a +20 Critical Severity bonus, and a +10% Accuracy bonus.

The 40% shield penetration bonus works by reducing the innate penetration resistance of shields. The penetration resistance is 90% for most shields, and it will be reduced to 54% against transphasic weapons, which is equivalent to a bleedthrough of 46%. For resilient shields, the bleedthrough will be 43% against transphasic weapons.

These weapons are functionally identical to the Standard Energy Weapons above, but are visually different when firing. This includes all 23rd-century weaponry, with the exception of the 23rd century Plasma Torpedo Launcher in the section below.
